You’ve probably heard of or have been impacted by the recent labor laws that are restricting worker’s freedom around the United States.
The TL;DR on the rule is that it makes it harder for self-employed workers to be classified as independent contractors, which disproportionately affects women, those who rely on side hustles to supplement their income, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses nationwide. You can read more about the rule HERE.
NOWis the time to take action and tell the Biden administration to stay out of our businesses and keep our workplaces flexible. And we can start turning the tide one message at a time.
You can send a message directly to your legislators urging them to repeal this harmful Department of Labor rule through the use of the Congressional Review Act.
Don’t let the Biden administration put you, your loved ones, and other working Americans in a box. Together let’s support freedom, flexibility, and the ability to work as we choose. Feel free to personalize the message and share how independent contracting has benefited you.
